The Hidden Politics of Faith: How Religion Becomes a Shield for Global Power Games

Old world map with religious symbols and political icons symbolizing the manipulation of faith for territorial and power gains.

Take Netanyahu for example,
He himself may not even be a true Jew. 
Modi may not be a true Hindu.
Trump too may not be a true Christian.

Yet, observe how each of them pushes forward the Jewish, Hindu, and Christian agendas respectively.

So the question is: if inwardly they’ve abandoned the faith, why do they still serve religious causes?
Isn’t that contradictory?
No, it isn’t.
Then what’s the real reason?
The real reason is the use of religion as a pretext for imperialistic ambitions.

How so?
Take Israel for example. They can’t just go around occupying other nations’ lands to expand their own.
So the best way for them is to expand under the pretext of religion.
They can claim that long ago, places like Jerusalem, the Levant, the Arabian Peninsula, and the broader Middle East were all their ancestral lands.
They were unjustly uprooted from them.
Therefore, those lands rightfully belong to them.

And on that basis, they can strike at any time.
Through these occupations, they’ll continue reinforcing and expanding their empire.

In a similar way, the Indian government might argue that these lands once belonged to the Aryans.
Foreign invaders snatched them away.
Now it’s time to reclaim that lost ground.

See, without using religious or ethnic justification, there’s no acceptable excuse left for land grabbing.
So they’re compelled to resort to such arguments.
And with this strategy, they easily gather massive public support at home.

That’s why when a Hindu is killed in Bangladesh, it doesn’t actually hurt the Indian government.
In fact, it’s beneficial.
They can use that Hindu’s death as a political tool, making their agenda even easier to execute.
Most Hindus in Bangladesh don’t realize this, though.

And in real life, who actually uses this religion-as-business ideology?
Those who sell fake ointments, quack healers, and religious opportunists.
They use select religious terms and phrases to emotionally manipulate people for their own gain.

In short, in this world, it's the ordinary people who always become the victims of war,
and religion becomes the biggest shield.
But in truth, religion itself barely exists anymore in this world.
